KI-MentorMedia Rating Platform

KI-Mentor is an independent platform that rates media outlets using automated text analysis. Much as rating agencies assess companies, KI-Mentor makes the linguistic quality of news outlets comparable.

Every analysed article is checked for more than 30 persuasion techniques. The score rests on four factors: density, intensity, variety and how techniques compound. A fixed, versioned calibration makes scores comparable across text type, length and analysis depth — 0 means no techniques were detected, 50 is roughly a typical text. The fewer techniques detected, the better the rating.

A grade from A+ to F is published only from 10 analysed articles onward. Below that the outlet appears in the list but without a rank and without a grade — a single analysis lands at an extreme and would not be a dependable statement about a whole outlet.

The current focus is on German-language media outlets. Ratings update continuously as new analyses arrive — any article URL can be submitted for analysis.

Yes. Analysis is fully automated with no editorial influence, and there is no paid placement: an outlet cannot buy, change or remove its grade or its position. The methodology is public.
